If you are used to the Kirk and RSS ball heads, you will like the Giotto MH 1302-655.

It’s small and light and very solid construction. The camera plate attaches with a thumb bolt so it can be easily attached to the camera when needed and uninstalled and left on the head when not. The camera plate is wider than the camera so when attached, you can stand the camera on a table, top of a car, etc. and it’s very stable. If you have bigger cameras DSLRs this head can hold them also.
